Guide to Albumer Modules
Albumer is extremely scalable due to the use of Modules. They allow a user to define their own custom variables to be used in their skins. They also allow a user to perform a number of bad activities which is why it is very highly suggested that user_module_uploads is set to false (off) if you are running Albumer in a multi-user environment. If you want to write your own modules, I suggest you start with skeleton_albumer_module.mod which is a highly commented framework. More examples will hopefully come. By default, each user is provided with 3 modules (defaultONE.mod, defaultTWO.mod, defaultTHREE.mod). These provide the following variables. On the homepage of a user %%albums%% - a table that shows album name, number of pictures in the album, and the date the album was last added to. %%homepage%% - a link to the user's Albumer homepage Viewing an album both %%albums%% and %%homepage%% are again available %%thumbnails%% - Displays a table of thumbnails in that album, with rows and columns being determined by per_page and per_row %%pages%% - If there are multiple pages to an album, this will provide links to them %%albumname%% - the name of the album being viewed Viewing a picture both %%albums%% and %%homepage%% are again available %%picture%% - displays the fullsize image %%description - The description of the picture %%albumslist%% - A list of the albums the picture is in |
